[Tigers] Forest green

[Jay Laifman]

My dad did think it was correct.  I know he repainted the car.  Under the
hard top cover it is still the original green.  I haven't looked under
there in forever.  Next time I lower the car I'll check it out (it's on a
lift).  And don't get me wrong, I do love it.  The car looks great.  It's
just that it's a bit more dry English than the other BRGs - and I do think
his/mine is a shade less milky or muddy than I've seen before as stock.  I
know that's a very bad sensor!  I've attached a picture in very bright sun,
in case we can send pictures in this group.
